ORANGE-CRANBERRY BRAN MUFFINS
This is a recipe from the G.I. Diet book. They are loaded with fibre but taste really nice. Not a light cake like muffin. The cranberries give these muffins a nice little burst of tartness. I didn't have any fresh cranberries so I used dried.

Tips for Baking Delicious Bran Muffins with Cranberries
- Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor and a better texture than frozen cranberries. If you only have frozen cranberries, thaw them completely before using.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the muffin tins to the top. This will help the muffins rise evenly and create a nice muffin top.
- Bake the muffins at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help the muffins rise quickly and prevent them from becoming dry.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This will help the muffins set and prevent them from crumbling.
Conclusion
Bran muffins with cranberries are a healthy and delicious breakfast option. They are made with whole wheat flour, oats, and bran, which are all good sources of fiber. Cranberries are also a good source of antioxidants. These muffins are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
